/ Rev. r. c. lift is still in our midst and
the revival meetings being conducted by
him at the Methodist Church are won
derful in their effect. Mr.. lifts earnest
ness, energy and eloquence for the cause
OF Christ is something worthy OF the

nightly carrying convictien to the hearts
OF many, and opening up the way Tor
life So much interest is being mani
tested in the meetings that they will
continue for some time yet.
I. L. Harper, Of Salt Lake, spent Sun

From resident of Heber we learn that
affairs in that little town are quiet and
steady, and that nothing OF unusual i'm
portancc has occurred of late. That court
house which was being built on land
owned by Abram Hatch, the Bishop of
Heber, under such circumstances that it
might at any time have been transferred
to himself, could only have been built in
the Tribune sanctum, for the Wasatch
county courthouse has been built for
more there will be no necessity for an
other. A stake house, though, is being
built, and if it is in danger of falling into
the hands of Mr.. Hatch by being built on
his land, none but our Mormon friends
will ever be the losers by it.
Educational and religious matters in
Heber are progressing rapidly. Rev. DR..
Granville has charge OF the Methodist
work and holds service in their neat little
chapel every Sunday. Miss Granville has
charge of the school, which is largely at
tended. The Congregational work is car
ried on by the Rev. Mr. Merrill, with
the assistance OF the Misses Hand
and Pease. These ladies conduct the
the New West school has good attend
ance, though not as large as formerly,
due to some careless conduct of the former
teachers. Heber is beyond doubt, the
most liberal Mormon town in Utah, and
in no other place are Christian workers
treated more kindly or given more en-
couragement. The people are more hos
pltable and stranger going into the
place at once feels at home. Five dis
trict schools are supported under the di-
rectlon OF John Arid and VIM. Buys, and
all have large enrollments. The Coop

come that round dancing is INDUCED in
to an alarming extent-so much SO that
even at dances in the sacred "meetin'
house" the hated and sinful waltz is per
United. Heber's close proximity to
wicked Park City is no doubt the cause of
its waywardness.
The Park has new doctor in the per-
son OF $. C.. Whitford.
